Re: [iText-questions] Code page or unicode
On Dec 22, 2008, at 12:28 PM, David Thielen wrote: We have been using Unicode for all of our output. Works great in that we don’t need to worry about what characters are in a string. But it means we always have embedded fonts – which is not good. I disagree with this last statement. Embedding the fonts IS VERY GOOD and VERY IMPORTANT. It is why EVERY SINGLE ISO subset PDF standard (PDF/X, PDF/A, PDF/E, PDF/VT) all require that fonts be embedded. DO NOT make the mistake of undoing what is the correct and proper behavior. What’s the “best practices” in this case? I prefer the concept of keeping everything Unicode but we do need to offer PDF files that are smaller (ie don’t have embedded fonts). There are MANY OTHER ways to produce smaller sized PDFs than to simply stop embedding fonts.

Re: [iText-questions] PDF/X, PDF/A, tagged PDF, etc.
On Dec 22, 2008, at 12:07 PM, David Thielen wrote: Please correct me if I’m wrong, PDF/X and PDF/A are basically restrictions on what can be written to the PDF file. They are subsets of the full PDF specification (eg. there are things that you aren't allowed to have) AND they also have additional requirements that aren't present in standard PDF (eg. all fonts must be embedded). So we do the same thing as before, except there are some calls that are not allowed and all colors are set in CMYK. For PDF/X that’s it – correct? There are 5 different flavors of PDF/X (1a, 2, 3, 4, and 5) - depends on which one(s) you are targetting. Same with PDF/A. For PDF/A there is the metadata that is added, but is there any specific metadata we are supposed to add or is what is added up to each individual? If there is a set of properties we are supposed to put in the metadata, is there a link to it somewhere? As Bruno and Paulo both said - you REALLY need to read the specific standards documents if you are going to be implementing them. You need a good validator, such as Adobe Acrobat Professional's Preflight tool. And for tagged PDF, this is where we can let Acrobat know the true formatting of the document so when a user does copy and paste from Acrobat, they get the true formatted document displayed in the PDF – correct? Is there a link showing what of this is supported in iText, how to call it, and what more will be added? Something like that...As mentioned, look for "Marked Content" in the PDF Reference.

ColumnText will tell you how many lines it needed if you call the getLinesWritten() method. If you've measured the text yourself, it should always return 1. If it does, add the line for real with ColumnText.go() (not in simulation mode). If it doesn't (but I don't expect it won't), fall back on your initial way of adding text. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info -- ___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php

Re: [iText-questions] How should we write text to the PDF file?
We do all of the page formatting - and have to for setting text in things like the page on & number of pages field - which we then convert to text on the output. Plus we've put in a gigantic effort to match Word and there is a boatload of small weird rules that impact layout, and iText does not have that level of control. So when we say the text must fit on a line - it all must go on that line. The output we produce is clean so the text we select for a line does fit - but I can't use an iText call that may decide that the last word should go on the next line. Also, for centered/right/justified text - it has to know that this is all the text for this line. And for justified text, needs to know if it is the last line of the paragraph (no justify) or a line before the last.

[iText-questions] How should we write text to the PDF file?
Hi; At present we write to the document using ColumnText.showTextAligned(). We pass in the X, Y of the start of the text and in the case of justified text, call it word by word. We then also draw underlines ourselves afterwards. I would prefer that we could call an iText method a line at a time and give it the start & end of the line, if it's left, center, right, or justified aligned, and if it's underlined. But it would not word wrap - it would put everything on that one line. Is there a way to do this? And if not, is our present approach using ColumnText.showTextAligned() setting the left of each string the best approach?

[iText-questions] Code page or unicode
Hi; We have been using Unicode for all of our output. Works great in that we don't need to worry about what characters are in a string. But it means we always have embedded fonts - which is not good. We do not know up front what characters are in the text we get and while I think it's rare, it would not surprise me that both Russian and Polish or Chinese and Thai are both in a document. We can easily add the code to determine the codepage for each string and separate out strings using different codepages. What's the "best practices" in this case? I prefer the concept of keeping everything Unicode but we do need to offer PDF files that are smaller (ie don't have embedded fonts).

[iText-questions] Joining lines that change properties
Hi; When we draw a table, the top and bottom borders can be different widths/colors/patterns from the left & right borders (width change is the most common). Is there a way to get PDF to join the corners of each line when they are dissimilar? We have tried numerous approaches but if the line width changes, Acrobat usually will not join the lines. Same for the internal lines in the table, is there a way to join them to the outside borders where they stub in to them? This is a problem because setting the lines to start and stop at specific positions with the next line lined up against them, is not drawn that way by Acrobat. It seems to start/stop lines a bit off at the ends.

[iText-questions] PDF/X, PDF/A, tagged PDF, etc.
Hi; Please correct me if I'm wrong, PDF/X and PDF/A are basically restrictions on what can be written to the PDF file. So we do the same thing as before, except there are some calls that are not allowed and all colors are set in CMYK. For PDF/X that's it - correct? For PDF/A there is the metadata that is added, but is there any specific metadata we are supposed to add or is what is added up to each individual? If there is a set of properties we are supposed to put in the metadata, is there a link to it somewhere? And for tagged PDF, this is where we can let Acrobat know the true formatting of the document so when a user does copy and paste from Acrobat, they get the true formatted document displayed in the PDF - correct? Is there a link showing what of this is supported in iText, how to call it, and what more will be added?

[iText-questions] z-order
Hi; I understand that iText has the 4 layers. Is there any way to set a specific z-order for each item to have a larger number of layers? I ask because we get elements in page order and they can come in any z order. Theoretically, we could have 5 strings, each on top of the other, with each having a unique z-order. If this cannot be done, if 2 items are drawn on the same level, does the second always get placed above the first?

[iText-questions] Background for the next couple of questions
Hi; We use an older version of iText, that matches iTextDotNet. We do this because we also build our code using J# for our .NET version. We are now going to write a layer of our code that has a common API that we call, and underneath it will call the latest iText on the Java side and the new C# iText on the .net side. Our code handles the page layout so we use iText to draw to the page, but we do not use it for line breaks, table layout, etc. We do use it to handle ligatures, etc so we don't have to redo the work involved in handling Arabic. So that brings me to asking questions, most on things that have been added, a couple on questions we are not sure we used the best approach on. I've just been through all the relevant parts of Bruno's book and am left with the questions following. Questions to follow.

You keep sending questions about interactions between iText and a database. This is totally irrelevant, since iText's scope is the creation and manipulation of PDF files (and RTF files up to a certain point), in Java or C#. Wether the files come from (or are saved to) a database is totally transparent from the library point of view.

Re: [iText-questions] PDF in database
1. The table column must be defined as a blob (binary large object or
whatever data type Oracle uses) big enough to hold the largest document you
might have. Then, you need to get your pdf in a byte array by either using a
ByteArrayOutputStream when creating it or reading an existing file into a
byte array. Then update the table using a prepared statement, like this...
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("UPDATE myTableName SET
columnName1 = ? WHERE recordId = 5");
ps.setBytes(1,myByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray());
ps.executeUpdate();
2. You get the document like this...
byte[] myDocument = resultSet.getBytes("columnName1");
Until you update the database, as in step 1, the value in the database does
not change. Same as any other value in the database, unless Oracle has some
special API object that does it automatically for you. Somewhere, somehow,
the database must be updated.

[iText-questions] Decode CCITTF Image from within a pdf file
Dear all iText lovers,
I'm currently developping a process that read barcodes (Code 128) from
pdf files and split them accordingly.
Each PDF file contains several pages and each page is a unique scanned
image.
The image format is usually jpg, gif or png.
At first the process splits the original pdf files into single pdf pages.
Then each image is extract from each single pdf page.
Finally, the image is read to search barcode and decode it if a barcode
is found.
I'm currently extracting the image from a single pdf page with the
following method:
public ArrayList extract(InputStream input)
throws PdfException {
ArrayList results = new
ArrayList();
try {
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(input);
for (int i = 0; i < pdfReader.getXrefSize(); i++) {
PdfObject pdfObject = pdfReader.getPdfObject(i);
if (pdfObject != null) {
if (pdfObject.isStream()) {
PdfStream pdfStream = (PdfStream) pdfObject;
PdfObject pdfObjectSubType = pdfStream
.get(PdfName.SUBTYPE);
if (pdfObjectSubType != null) {
if (pdfObjectSubType.toString().equals(
PdfName.IMAGE.toString())) {
PRStream stream = (PRStream) pdfStream;
byte[] img =
PdfReader.getStreamBytes(stream);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
baos.write(img);
baos.flush();
baos.close();
results.add(baos);
}
}
}
}
}
} catch (IOException ioe) {
String msg = "Error while extracting images from pdf
document";
log.error(msg, ioe);
throw new PdfException(msg, ioe);
}
return results;
}
Everything is working like a charm except that sometimes the image
format is compressed tiff (CCITTF).
Then the previous code is throwing the following exception :
java.io.IOException: The filter /CCITTFaxDecode is not supported.
If I use the following instruction instead
byte[] img = PdfReader.getStreamBytesRaw(stream);
I have to decode the stream myself but I don't know how to use propertly
TIFFFaxDecoder and/or TiffImage for this purpose.
Within the pdf dictionary of this single pdf page, I can find the
following parameters :
/XObject Dictionary
PdfDictionary Dictionary
/I6 Stream of type: /XObject
Stream
PdfDictionary Stream of type: /XObject
/Decode [1, 0]
PdfArray [1, 0]
/DecodeParms Dictionary
PdfDictionary Dictionary
/BlackIs1 true
/K -1
/Columns 2464
/Type /XObject
/ColorSpace /DeviceGray
/Subtype /Image
/Name /I6
/Width 2464
/BitsPerComponent 1
/Length 86393
/Height 3488
/Filter /CCITTFaxDecode
How can I use these information to decode the stream myself ?
Thanks in avance for your help,
Bertrand GILLIS
